Supplied with a robust floor stand featuring built-in cable management and a mesh media basket, the D160 is ready for non-stop production straight out of the box.

Combined with the unique FlexCut feature, operators can produce clean perforated cuts while maintaining the structural rigidity required for smooth transport through the machine. Ideal for signage, decals, automotive wraps, and large-format contour cutting, the S1 D160 delivers unmatched reliability and precision at scale.
